One advantage I'd add to your Posterous is that the two main 'live' streaming sites (Ustream/JustinTv) don't accomodate audio very well. They're optimized for better video quality and as a DJ, I find that they mangle my music.
Now for some feedback!
1) The 'Create My account' button is dimmed out, even after I've completed the form!
2) The 'Password' tooltips aren't really that helpful because they don't give me any guidance as to how long my password should be. They're cute, but I had to hit 'submit' to find out that it had to be a minimum 6 characters.
3) The 'About' box on the signup page says something along the lines of 'If you're a DJ or a live act, Mixlr is for you!' I didn't find this very compelling compared to this line on your posterous: "If you are a DJ or part of a live act, you may have already found that it can be surprisingly hard to broadcast yourself live on the web." I would suggest swapping them :) I couldn't get back to the original signup page to get an exact quote.
4) Signup process is nice and easy! I didn't try the Fbook/Soundcloud integration but a brief blurb on why I would want to tie them together would be great. For example a cool picture of how the facebook integration would look (sharing your live stream with your friends!) would be ideal. Bonus points if you get a celebrity DJ to take the screenshot of his/her account :)
5) I liked being able to set my location on a map. Felt much more personal than just typing in my City/State into some text box (even though thats what I was really doing!)
6) I haven't received my e-mail yet but i'll try to post more feedback when I get in! :)
Thanks for posting your app here. Makes me super anxious to complete my app so I can post for some feedback :D
I did receive my email, and here are some of my thoughts from that point on (I agree with most of the points above).
1) After completing the registration form, I was not immediately signed in. Before I got my email, I tried to log in and was told that my combination wasn't valid (it was). I then received the email, clicked on the link, and the resulting page told me 'link has expired'. I then closed both mixlr.com browser tabs that were open, clicked the link again and it took me to a page that said 'you are already logged in'. Weird session-y experience. I would expect to be logged in immediately and use the link to verify my email address.
2) I understand this is just getting off the ground, but do you plan on displaying a list of previously uploaded / currently playing streams?
3) Do you plan on establishing a 'public / private' capability so that certain streams would only be known by the passing around of the link?
